Carpenter & Cook (II)

This was our second visit to Carpenter & Cook. I was dying to try the chocolate caramel tart which wasn't available on our previous visit.

Can't help but love the design and decor of the place

Iced Latte - $5.80

The latte was diluted and pretty bland.

Iced Mocha - $6

The iced mocha lacked the taste of chocolate and it was diluted too.

Pear Almond Cake - $5

The cake was a little too dry and there was just one thin slice of pear which was hardly sufficient. Also, the slice of dried pear did not carry much of the pear taste

Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Tart - $6.20

As a fan of chocolate and salted caramel, this was heaven to me. Smooth chocolate ganache atop a layer of sea salt caramel in a crusty tart shell. This was too good.

The tart was so good that I bought another one. And X bought two. It was quite a costly afternoon tea for us haha

It's nice to dine at Carpenter & Cook because everytime you return, you see new furniture and decorations in the store. Somewhat refreshing. Also, we really adore the vintage and laid-back vibe of the cafe. We feel that prices are slightly on the high side though. And the drinks can definitely be improved. This will not be our last visit for sure. Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Tarts, I'll be back.
